At four o'clock, the Forbidden City suddenly became martial law and entered a state of imminent war.

Wang Dehua's Tengxiang Battalion, Warrior Battalion, and the specially established Shenji Battalion all went out to occupy all the walls and gates that entered and exited the palace.

At the same time, a part of Qin Shuhuai's martial arts alliance army also held the holy decree and rushed into the Forbidden City under the leadership of Zhang Xiao to consolidate the defense.

The three major battalions of the Imperial Forest Army stationed outside the city also received a holy decree, asking them to stay in place and not to move without a holy decree.

Outside the Qianqing Palace.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard informed Wan Yunshan to take a large number of Jinyi Guards, and suddenly rushed out from everywhere like a wolf, and instantly surrounded the ministers who were kneeling outside the door and crying.

Xu Guangqi was taken aback, and immediately pointed at Wanyun Mountain and reprimanded, "Master Wan, what are you going to do?"

Wan Yunshan sneered, then took out the holy decree, and read it in public, "Check, Xu Guangqi, the scholar of the Ministry of Rites, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, Chen Shang, the squire of the Ministry of War, Wang He, the inspector of the imperial history, and Chu Wangyong, the secretary of the Dali Temple, etc., do not think about the worries of the monarch and the difficulties of the times, and have long formed a party for personal gain, acted recklessly, and caused chaos in the dynasty! Poisoning the people and so on do everything. As a result, the people are not able to make a living, and the bones are everywhere, is it not that I am very clear about wanting to die? His heart can be punished, his deeds can be killed, and the people and gods are indignant, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it!

The holy decree wrote a large paragraph, most of which scolded these civil officials, which shows the depression that Chongzhen has been holding back in his heart over the years!

After reading it, Wan Yunshan immediately waved his hand to his subordinates and said, "Take them all, if there is any resistance, you will be killed!"

These crying ministers were all stunned and cold, and they didn't expect that the emperor would make such a thunderous and decisive move!

It wasn't until Jin Yiwei's cold shackles were clasped around his neck that they reacted - the emperor is going to officially clean Donglin!

Your Majesty, is he really not afraid of the world's scholars rising up to resist? Is he really not afraid of the world's leisurely mouth? Slaughtering the scholars and the turmoil of the country's capital is the way to destroy the country!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is he really not afraid?

The emperor is not afraid, they are afraid!

In the holy decree, the emperor directly denounced Donglin as Donglin's rebel party, which is the crime of convicting Donglin of rebellion, which is to be copied and beheaded!

Many of these ministers, who are usually dignified, couldn't help but tremble at this time. Most of them listened to Zhou Yanru's arrangement to cry, thinking that this would not only contribute to Donglin, but also be recorded in the history books as their "loyal ministers", but they didn't expect to get this effect.

Only then did they remember that in the past, Zhou Yanru personally led this kind of thing, but this time Zhou Yanru didn't come?

So he knew it might happen?

So, are we being taken advantage of?

When they thought of this, they suddenly howled in despair and heartbreak.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not from the Donglin Party, please check the emperor!

"Zhou Yanru, you sinister villain, you use us!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged! The minister is definitely not the Donglin Party!"

In addition to wailing, there are also many "iron-clad", they generously got up, let the brocade guard wear shackles, and then laughed, saying "Hurry", and even "reminded" Wan Yunshan that he should take care of the elderly ministers, otherwise he will feel good after "the time turns"!

Some of these people were really brainwashed by Donglin, and they were so brainwashed that they were not even afraid of death, but more of them thought that the emperor would not dare to really kill them, because all the scholars in the world were Donglin, and those who were here were all famous people in Donglin, and after killing so many people, the emperor would definitely not be able to sit still!

Since the emperor didn't really kill, what are you afraid of him doing? It is better to be generous and gain a clear reputation, and in the future, he will be dismissed, and he can go back with his head held high and live up to the reputation of the clear stream!

At this time, they still don't forget to sell their fame and reputation, and they really have the style of Donglin.

Of course, the most wronged person here is Xu Guangqi, he is not a Donglin Party, he came to cry just to perform his duties, but now he is also regarded as a Donglin Party and arrested together.

The gate of Qianqing Palace was finally quiet.

"Your Majesty, all the Donglin thieves outside the palace have been captured, please send them down!" Wan Yunshan said to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen's face flushed with excitement, and he said quickly and decisively, "All of them are detained in the prison of the Zhenfu Division, and they will be strictly guarded!"

"Obey the order!"

At the same time, the Zhou Mansion.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

A large group of fierce officers and men walked through the bustling streets, causing chickens and dogs to jump on both sides of the streets, and the people were all stunned.

These officers and soldiers rushed to the Zhou Mansion, and then surrounded it!

The person at the head is Zhang Xiao.

Now the Forbidden City is controlled by Wang Dehua's Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the outside of the Forbidden City is controlled by Qin Shuhuai's martial arts coalition army, as for the three Imperial Forest Battalions stationed here, they have all been on standby in place after receiving the holy decree - life and death, Chongzhen does not believe in them, only believes in Qin Shuhuai.

The gate of Zhou's mansion was closed, and Zhang Xiao personally stepped forward and kicked the door open.

But when he saw a housekeeper and dozens of family warriors coming out of the door, the housekeeper came up and pointed at Zhang Xiao and shouted, "Daring, do you know what kind of place this is?

Zhang Xiao didn't say a word, pulled out his saber and slashed off the butler's head, and then said to the coalition soldiers behind him, "Go in, search!"

When those dozens of families saw this posture, where did they dare to stop it, they threw down their weapons one after another and retreated to both sides.

After the soldiers of the brigade entered, they immediately launched a search, and the people in the Zhou Mansion were soon gathered in the courtyard.

Zhang Xiao went in and saw that there were no Zhou Yanru, Qian Qianyi and others, and immediately secretly screamed that it was not good.

He yelled angrily, "Tell the Dongchang fans outside to come in and ask them what they think of people?"

The people from Dongchang had been densely packed near Zhou's mansion two days ago, just to prevent Zhou Yanru from escaping, but he didn't expect Zhou Yanru to run away, how could Zhang Xiao not be angry?

After a stall leader in Dongchang came in, he learned that Zhou Yanru and the others were not in the house, and said incredulously, "It's strange! Our Neiying also said that Zhou Yanru was still in the house last night, and we didn't see anyone from the Zhou Mansion come out all night, why is it gone?"

Zhang Xiao was furious, "Don't you know that there is such a thing as a secret passage in the world?

The stall leader said, "General Zhang, our internal report should report that there is no secret passage in the mansion!"

"Can you know everything about your internal response? Zhou Yanru dug a secret path and also told your internal response? Or has your internal response already been rebelled by Zhou Yanru?"

The stall leader was also angry, "General Zhang, my Dongchang Fanzi is loyal to the country, why are you so bloody? If you really want to take Zhou Yanru, why didn't you take it a few days ago?"

Dongchang is now also in charge of Guogong, so the stall head is not afraid of Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao was choked enough, pointed at the stall head and shouted, "You know a fart! Grandpa Guo arranged it like this, does he still have to explain it to you?"

Seeing that the two were arguing, Chen Jing, who came together, hurriedly came up and said, "Lao Zhang, don't be impatient, and search to see if there are any other clues." ”

The stall leader took a deep breath, calmed down a bit, and said, "Follow me." ”
